Baker's Waterproofing serving Marshall County, WV

Homeowners in Glen Dale were experiencing water leakage in their finished basement. Water leaked through their walls and along the perimeter of the basement floor. They reached out to us because we completed work for these homeowners in their previous property. They were satisfied with our company and we were happy to work with them again.

Our foreman, Jon Mitchell, and his crew successfully installed our proven waterproofing solutions in only two days. They installed our unique perimeter drainage system (WaterGuard), premier sump pump system (SuperSump), anti-freeze device for the discharge line (IceGuard), downspout extension outlet (LawnScape), and wall vapor barrier (CleanSpace).

Our crew dug a small trench along the specified 76 feet of the basement perimeter. After all debris was removed from the area, they drilled small weep holes directly above the trench in order to drain excess water out of the concrete block walls. Then, they laid clean drainage stone in the trench for WaterGuard to be installed, and poured concrete over our sub-floor drain for a clean finish. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier was mechanically attached to the wall with plastic fasteners. Any leaks will be channeled down into our drain through the WaterGuard's flange that extends slightly up the wall. All water in the drain is directed to our SuperSump, which contains a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump. Our crew installed our IceGuard anti-freeze fitting to help eject water away from the home in the event that the discharge lines become clogged or frozen. The discharge lines run water from the sump pump to 2 separate locations in the yard out of each grated LawnScape outlet. This outlet was installed flush with the lawn and blends in perfectly. Rest assured, this Glen Dale basement will remain dry, and our bright white vapor barrier will keep it looking clean!

Homeowners in Glen Dale, WV used to deal with a flooded basement after heavy rains. The homeowners had already finished their basement twice. They wanted a lasting solution, so they could finally finish their basement for good.

Our crew installed our unique WaterGuard below-floor drain, TripleSafe sump pump system, IceGuard discharge protection, and LawnScape underground discharge outlet.

The interior drain rests just below the floor slab around half of the basement where water seeps through the foundation. All water is collected in the drain, where it is then led into our reliable and durable sump pump system. The system's 2 discharge lines run out to the exterior of the home.

The IceGuard discharge protection, an anti-freeze and anti-clog fitting, was installed just outside of the home. This fitting has slotted openings that allows for water to eject from the home in the event that either of the lines clog or freeze. From here, 1 line runs underground about 12 feet away from the home. All water that tries to enter the basement will be discharged and surface at the end of the line, which is hidden by our grated LawnScape outlet.

This project was completed in 1 day.

In 2015, Mrs. Homeowner and her family bought a new house in Moundsville, WV. For about 2 years, they had been dealing with a musty, damp crawl space beneath the first floor of the home. She began to worry that the moisture would create a livable space for mold growth. With her family's allergies in mind, she knew the crawl space needed to be a dry, healthy environment.

We inspected the crawl space as well as the outside of the home. Then, we sat down with the homeowner to learn more about these concerns to create a custom solution that her family would be happy with. She was pleased with the proposal, and immediately hired us for the project. At a later date, our crew arrived at the residence to install our SmartSump crawl space sump pump, CleanSpace liner, CleanSpace vent covers, IceGuard discharge protection, and LawnScape underground discharge extension.

It is important to first install a waterproofing system before encapsulating the crawl space with a liner. Then, just as vital to a healthy space, our airtight vent covers keep outside air away, along with all the moisture, pests, winter cold, and summer heat it brings with it.

This project was completed in just 2 days!
